Bohemia Interactive deploys new Expedition One update for
Take On Mars

Prague, Czech Republic, Monday 23rd June 2014

To resupply the first people on Mars, Bohemia Interactive today
released a major content update for the Expedition One campaign of
Take On Mars – the studio’s new space simulation game.
The update delivers a manned scout buggy, mobile laboratory, an
improved 3D printer, and many general fixes and improvements to the
core game. The full changelog of the latest update is available at
http://mars.takeonthegame.com/changelog.

Expedition One, which serves as the second part of Take On
Mars’ Space Program campaign, provides players with the
opportunity to take part in the first manned mission to the Red
Planet. After they arrive on Mars, they will need to perform a
multitude of scientific experiments, construct habitats spanning
from shelters to entire installations, and search for viable
sources of oxygen, water, and raw materials. Due to the limited
amount of supplies the space shuttle can carry, one of the most
significant challenges for the marsonauts will simply be surviving
the harsh Martian environment. This means that participants will
have to actively manage their oxygen levels, food stocks, grow
plants, and operate drilling rigs in the search for new resources.
Unpressurized and pressurized manned vehicles will be at their
disposal to increase their mobility across the vast alien
terrain.

To enlist for the Expedition One mission, people can sign up for
Take On Mars’ Early Access program on
Steam, where the game is
currently available with a 15% Summer Sale discount (11.89 EUR/
15.29 USD/ 10.19 GBP).

Take On Mars places you right in the middle of mankind's most
exciting undertaking. Start out in the seat of a Mars rover
operator, pushing your vehicles to the max. Finish as the first
human to have ever set foot on Mars. With a scientific arsenal at
your disposal, you will pioneer the exploration of another planet,
unlocking the secrets of Mars’ distant past. More information
